Mike Vrabel says knowing Drake Maye was special is a big reason he took the job
Our Summary
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel expressed confidence in quarterback Drake Maye's abilities, stating that his potential was a significant factor in Vrabel's decision to join the team. Despite Maye's unexpected rise as an MVP candidate in 2025, Vrabel anticipated his success, citing Maye's unique skill set, including accuracy outside the pocket and ability to make off-platform throws. The Patriots, who finished 4-13 in Maye's rookie season, have surpassed expectations under Vrabel's leadership and are now contenders in the Super Bowl.
